Ah, but that was not always so. These things echo for quite a while after they're gone.

Perhaps in a few more months, I too will be at ease. You'll find me sprawled amongst the rabbits munching a carrot. Perhaps I'll wear white that day, then we'll see if you can tell which rabbit is me.

Oh, but the headbands will give me away. And I don't dare remove theirs - I'm neither family nor spouse, what indignity that would be!

( do you see what happens when you ignore this man for more than an hour? nonsense, is what. )

[downswing]

You will never go hungry again.

On ancestors, this is sworn.

[mannerless]

Because I'll have become a rabbit at ease, or simply because I'm Wei Ying?

( he fails to point out that of the three, hunger was always the least of his troubles. no need to seem ungrateful when the truth is very much the opposite. )

[downswing]

Shameless.

[mannerless]

Lan Zhan, you know me perhaps better than anyone. Can you name a single time in which I've had an appropriate amount of shame?

I know that I won't go hungry. Lan Zhan is far too good to me and somehow makes sure all of Lan sect is the same. I don't know how to accept these things without making light of them somehow. Another 'perhaps one day I will'.

You say, 'thank you.'

[mannerless]

That's it? Just 'thank you', to something like that? That hardly seems enough.

But if you're sure that it is, then...

Thank you.

[downswing]

Then, learn further, to be at ease.

[mannerless]

I will, I think.

At least I'm trying to.

[downswing]

Stay the month. Sleep restfully. Have each meal at its time.

[mannerless]

How does one choose to sleep restfully? I've never found that I had much say in the matter.

[downswing]

Incense, exhaustion. Meditation.

A clear conscience.

[mannerless]

Any chance three out of four might be enough?

[downswing]

How red come your hands?

[mannerless]

I suppose that depends on who you ask.
